Regionalism and governance in Asia

Earlier in 2010, Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center scholars Donald K. Emmerson and Daniel C. Sneider were selected as research associates for the prestigious National Asia Research Program (NARP), a policy-oriented research and conference program run jointly by the National Bureau of Asian Research and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Emmerson, director of the Southeast Asia Forum, and Sneider, associate director for research at Shorenstein APARC, presented at a NARP symposium held on October 14, 2010 in honor of Professor Robert Scalapino of the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. The two joined other prominent Asia scholars from across the United States. Emmerson took part in the session on regionalism in Asia with the presentation "An American Place at an Asian Table? Regionalism and its Reasons." Sneider's presentation, "Japan's New Asianism: Threat or Opportunity?," was featured during the session on governance in Asia.
